Re: Gmail

Google and several other large companies have worried me for a long time, they play fast and loose with the privacy laws it seems. Anyone gets hold of their data they could bring chaos to the world.

I use Gmail mainly because it is very reliable, certainly more so than Virgin Media's excuse for e-mail!

Yes, I do receive e-mail junk advertising, but it is quick and easy to delete them.

Still, I suppose this is good news for convenience sake.

Neither do I - they are very good in that respect.

I think that they were using the information for targeted advertising on google etc rather than sending emails.

Re: Gmail

Those sods down at virgin media left me high and dry when they told me that because I didn't have superfast fibre optic broadband I would have to find a new server and also a new email address....

So I signed up with BT and got myself a Gmail account......best move I ever made....For the last two years I've had no problems with either BT or Gmail...
